What a way to let people know what is deep down my heart! I will share my views on Chinese metaphysics with my audience without reservation. Please treat this blog as a public park where friends can exchange ideas.

When I was young (in the twenties), due tosuccess in studies and writing books, I was veryproud of my achievement and the ability tounderstand things I wanted to learn. When Istudied ancient books on Chinese Metaphysics, Ithought that I knew much more than all those whohad been practicing for 30 years. In a way it wastrue. But when I continued to study, I wasalarmed at the fact that I actually knew verylittle.

Today, I see my shadow in some talented young menwho are teaching Chinese Metaphysics in the west.It was lucky that I did not teach until my masterallowed me to - 10 years after his death. Why?Otherwise I would have passed on a lot ofimmature materials that could be harmful andcreated bad karma.

There is a famous Chinese saying (maybe fromConfucius): The illness of men is that they loveto be teachers of others(人之患在好為人師). This is the origin of the term : The illnessof men (人之患) to represent"teachers".

Therefore, I demand my students to teach onlyafter they have practiced for at least 2-5 yearsdepending on the amount and quality of the cases.It is not practical to demand that my studentsteach 10 years after I die!

In the west today, there are a lot of people whostart teaching after attending a weekend course.Beware!

People today use a lot of cooked up stories totell how effective their practice (with notheoretical background to support) is. When thepractice brings misfortune, they would say thatwithout the practice, it would have been muchgreater disaster. The practice actually savedpeoples' lives so that they are only hurt, notdead.

An incompetent doctor can kill a patient. Anincompetent feng shui practitioner can bringmisfortune to a family. What can an incompetentfeng shui teacher bring?

Cheung Wai Lok 張維樂 was born in a Christian family and baptized when he was 10 years old
after attending only one lesson of Christianity.

In high school, his Chinese
teacher introduced briefly divination while teaching the Yijing. Cheung found divination more interesting than going to church. He studied divination and was able to predict some future events and gave advice to his friends. He was known among his friends as a living fairy who could tell the future.

A professor
who has taught Cheung's Chinese teacher immigrated to the United States of America
after retirement. One day the professor sent his birth data to Cheung’s teacher
and asked him to request a reading from the famous astrologer Wei Qian Li.

Wei
was able to predict accurately what would happen in the days to come including
the day when the professor would pass away.

In 1977, Cheung had a lot of
problems including relationship troubles. He went to consult Wei Qian Li. Wei
told him he would face a serious catastrophe at the age of 39. Cheung was
worried.

Time flew fast and Cheung was then 40 but to his surprise, nothing
serious happened during the entire year before he turned 40. Cheung went over
the entire reading and found that everything before he was 36 was accurately
predicted by Wei Qian Li but nothing predicted after 36 including the disaster
at the age of 39 actually happened. He was puzzled.

Then he remembered
that he started going to church regularly and gave up the practice of divination at the age of 36. He returned to God
and was able to break away from the life controlled by the devil as predicted by the astrologer.
